“From Bach to Skryabin” – such a name received a concert of a class of a honored cultural worker of the Russian Federation, Honored Teacher of the Sakhalin Region, teacher of the piano of the Okhinsky Children’s Art School No. 1 of Natalia Brevtachikova. This event significant for the cultural life of our city has become twice anniversary. The teacher held the first similar concert exactly 35 years ago, and the current reporting performance of her students was the 30th in a row.
Class concerts are not held every year, and this is due to the fact that a sufficient number of students are not always “gained” to execute a complex program. Next year, for example, there will be only four of them, so the concert is in doubt. However, in the distant 1990, only two students “pulled out” the program. But, as the teacher says, these were very strong performers: Varvara Shcherbakova, who, after the fourth grade of the Okhinsky music school, immediately entered the fifth grade of the Central Music School at the Moscow Conservatory, and the younger sister of Natalia Vrekatakova, Evgeny Timofeev, who entered the music school in Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk.
This year, seven students of the teacher took part in the concert, three of them are already graduating from school this year.
A series of performances began with the performance of the younger pupil of Natalia Breedikova, Nastya Kapustina. The little pianist pleased the listeners with the works of composers Gedike, Rubbach and Lyubarsky.
– Over the past five years, I have been taking into my class children who came to me from the preparatory class. So I can see whether the child will go further in the piano class or he will better try himself at the choral singing department, where the piano is also taught, but in much smaller volumes, and the demand from performers -pianists is smaller. Nastya is a big clever, she studied for two years and managed to achieve a lot. At the class concert, she actually passed the exam for admission to first grade. I take her to my further training, ”says the teacher.
Directly on the topic of the concert, the guys who are trained on the main program of additional musical education were. This is a first -grader Gordey Gryaznov, a second -gradary Tamara Skryabin, Katya Grinchenko, a fourth -grade student, and graduates Milen Bychkova, Evgeny Vasiliev and Maria Ternovskaya. The works that the guys played have been preparing them since the beginning of the school year.
– Milena Bychkova – the second generation of my graduates, the daughter of our teacher Alena Tsvinskaya, who was also my graduate. The girl studied in my preparatory class for two years, and then another eight years. A very capable student. Two more graduates – from the department of choral singing, the last two years have been trained in my class. Zhenya Vasiliev loves the piano very much, plays a lot additionally, and, the most ingenious works, internally feels music. Maria Ternovskaya is also the daughter of our teacher, Anna Ternovskaya. A purposeful student, successfully mastered the program. She defended herself well and played at the graduation evening a work that was most difficult for her – the “poem” of Fibiha. She also played him at the class concert, ”says Natalya Brevtachikova.
It was the graduates that opened their performances the main part of the concert. The guys presented a very complex classic program, for the performance of which a certain technical spectrum, performing will and a sense of form are needed, the teacher says. From the stage, Tha Minor and the three -voice invention of Minor Bach, Sonatin No. 1 Beethoven, Sonata to Major and Sonata Minor Haydn sounded from the stage.
The next block was a romantic play. Katya Grinchenko, Tamara Skryabin and Gordey Gryaznov performed four works from Tchaikovsky’s Children’s Album. According to Natalia Brevtachikova, she, as a teacher, often resorts to this cycle, since children study a lot on these small plays. Pyotr Ilyich wrote them, being a mature composer, when in his piggy bank there were already “Swan Lake” and “Seasons”. The plays, although small, but complex. No wonder many venerable musicians play them.
Milena Bychkova performed a sketch in the memory of Chopin of the composer Grieg. It is interesting that the mother of the young pianist in 2003, graduating from a music school, graduated from her studies with the same study.
Maria Ternovskaya played the “poem” of Fibiha, which we already talked about a little higher.
And finally, they completed the concert of the work of Scriabin. According to Natalya Brevtachikova, for the level of a music school, this is a very rare composer. Usually it is played by much more prepared performers. But still, the teacher dared to entrust her graduates, Milena and Eugene, two complex preludes. And the guys successfully coped. Another work of the author, the sketch, essay 42, Natalya Anatolyevna played herself.
– For the second time I am completing the class concert with my performance. Last year it was a sketch of the “revolutionary” Chopin. This year there was also a complicated work. It is extremely difficult to complete the concert of the children that you teach and lead. But I was able to get together, – the teacher laughs. – Why exactly Scriabin? In my life there was such a story: in 1990, I broke my hand. I remember what despair I fell into, completely not understanding how I will play and teach children to continue. Skryabin’s sketch returned me to the performing life – so he inspires me and helps me to create.
It must be said that for Natalia Brevtakova this year was marked not only by anniversary dates. In April, she took part in the regional competition and became his laureate. In a difficult test, the teacher took the title “The best teacher of the Children’s Art School in the nomination“ Methodological development ”. And this, you see, is worth a lot. Without a doubt, the students of Natalia Anatolyevna are in the safe hands of a real professional in her field, which constantly confirm their high performing achievements.
